YEAR 8 GRAPHIC DESIGN PROJECT 2020

The rationale:
As D&T teachers return to school, we need a sit down/non-tool based project to start the students off, due to the Coronavirus.

This 6 x 1 hour lesson mini project is an ‘all in one’ prepared resource, containing lesson by lesson powerpoints and differentiated booklets that can be used by subject specialists and non-D&T teachers alike, perfect for cover work as well. The project ends with a sit down design and make lesson.

Powerpoints:
The project is driven by high end, attractive and informative power points, which have detailed instructions and notes, step-by-step animations, with starter, main and plenary activities, as well as home learning included.
